Winning an Award: It's More Than Just the Trophy! Did you know that winning an award opens doors far beyond the accolade itself? it's not just about the moment of victory; there's a whole world of extras that come with it, often overlooked but incredibly valuable. Take, for example, the opportunity to be featured in prestigious publications – a benefit that's worth its weight in gold. Normally, securing a spot in a leading magazine can be costly, but winning an award can land you that coveted space for free.  And it's not just any advertisement; it's a feature that celebrates your achievement, adding an extra layer of credibility and recognition. So, the next time you're considering entering an award, remember it's not just about the win – it's about the journey and the doors it opens.

One week left! Deadline: March 8, 2024. It’s easy to apply.

Meet The Association Partner (TAP), a 13th Annual GrowFL #FLCTW Honoree! 🏆 TAP propels trade associations and professional societies Upward, Onward, and Forward, by helping them solve extremely complex challenges such as declining membership numbers, declining membership participation across important events and programs, and declining sponsorship revenue. Brian Donohoe, CEO, says his advice for fellow business owners is, "Put the ‘Person’ before the ‘Pitch’ and the ‘Power’ before the ‘Product.' No person will care about what your business has to “Pitch” to the industry, marketplace, or economy in general, if you cannot first establish trust and rapport with the “Person” that you’re trying to enroll in your ideas… Relationships come before revenue, and revenue only grows if you keep your relationships right!"

This will be a great webinar! I have great respect for Larraine Segil and John Driver, NACD.DC. It is critical that #boarddirectors have different backgrounds and share different points of view respectfully. These differences improve the organization's strategy and risk oversight. #corporategovernance #DirectorExcellence
